What are some of the rules you will try when you are a teacher full time?
Respect other student's work. - I believe in this rule because for many students especially (the younger ones) their learning is dependant on their confidence and interest in learning. If they struggle in standing up and presenting and get laughed at, they may never want to speak up again.
Raise your hand! - I have had far to many open talks go to just the high level students because they answer immidiatley. The questions I ask are supposed to get all students thinking and developing answers and that takes some students longer than others.
